MDCAT Aggregate Calculator 2026
Work out your MDCAT aggregate in seconds using the PMDC merit formula — Matric 10%, FSc 40%, MDCAT 50% — and understand exactly how the percentage is built so you can set a realistic target score.
Merit formula
PMDC MDCAT Aggregate
This is the PMDC weighting used by most public medical colleges for MBBS/BDS admission. Some universities apply small variations, so confirm the exact formula with your admitting institution.
What you need to calculate your aggregate
Gather these three numbers before you use the calculator below.
Matric marks
Your Matriculation (or equivalent O-Level) marks out of 1100, converted to marks if you hold an international qualification with IBCC equivalence.
FSc marks
Your FSc Pre-Medical (or equivalent A-Level) marks out of 1100, again using your IBCC equivalence certificate if applicable.
MDCAT score
Your MDCAT score out of 200 from the national test administered under the PMDC-approved syllabus.
The PMDC weighting
Each component is converted to a percentage and multiplied by its weight — Matric 10%, FSc 40%, MDCAT 50% — then summed to give your aggregate.
How the merit formula works
The same three steps apply no matter which numbers you plug in.
Convert each component to a percentage
Divide your Matric marks by 1100, your FSc marks by 1100, and your MDCAT score by 200, then multiply each by 100 to get a percentage.
Apply the PMDC weights
Multiply your Matric percentage by 10%, your FSc percentage by 40%, and your MDCAT percentage by 50%.
Sum the three weighted values
Add the three weighted percentages together. The total is your MDCAT aggregate, used to rank you on provincial and university merit lists.
MDCAT paper structure
A quick reminder of what the 50%-weighted MDCAT score itself is built from.
The single biggest scoring opportunity in the paper.
Physical, organic and inorganic chemistry.
Mechanics, electricity, waves and modern physics.
Grammar, vocabulary and short comprehension.
Critical thinking and simple analytical items.
How to improve your aggregate
Since MDCAT carries the heaviest weight, small score gains there move your aggregate the most.
Focus your MDCAT prep on Biology first
Because the MDCAT score is 50% of your aggregate and Biology is the largest block within it, consistent Biology revision gives the best return on time.
Don't ignore your FSc marks
FSc contributes 40% of the aggregate, so strong board exam performance matters almost as much as the entry test itself — keep up with school assessments.
Practise under timed conditions
MDCAT is time-pressured. Timed practice improves your raw score, which has the single largest weight in the formula.
Solve past papers regularly
Recognising recurring question patterns helps you answer faster and more accurately on test day.
Bank easy marks in English and reasoning
These smaller sections are quick wins that still count fully toward your 50%-weighted MDCAT score.
Recalculate your aggregate as scores improve
Re-run the calculator after mock tests to see how a higher MDCAT score would shift your overall aggregate and target realistically.

Frequently asked questions
How to calculate aggregate for MDCAT?
Convert your Matric, FSc and MDCAT results to percentages, then apply the PMDC weights: Matric 10%, FSc 40%, MDCAT 50%. Add the three weighted percentages together to get your aggregate.
What is the MDCAT aggregate formula?
The standard PMDC formula is: (Matric % × 0.10) + (FSc % × 0.40) + (MDCAT % × 0.50). This produces the aggregate used for public-sector MBBS/BDS merit lists.
What is a good MDCAT aggregate for MBBS?
Public medical college cut-offs vary by province and year, but candidates aiming for competitive merit generally target an aggregate in the high 80s or above. Always check the previous year's closing merit for your province as a guide, since it changes annually.
Does the MDCAT aggregate formula change every year?
The core PMDC weighting (Matric 10%, FSc 40%, MDCAT 50%) has been stable, but provinces and individual universities can apply small variations, so confirm the current formula on pmdc.pk or your provincial admission policy before relying on it.
Is the MDCAT aggregate calculator formula the same for all provinces?
The PMDC weighting is the baseline used nationally, but some provincial or private universities may apply slightly different weightings for their own merit lists — check your target university's admission policy to be sure.
What is Matric worth in the MDCAT aggregate?
Matric (or equivalent) marks are worth 10% of your MDCAT aggregate under the standard PMDC formula.
What is FSc worth in the MDCAT aggregate?
FSc (or equivalent) marks are worth 40% of your MDCAT aggregate under the standard PMDC formula, making it the second-largest component after the MDCAT score itself.
What percentage of my aggregate is the MDCAT score?
The MDCAT score carries the largest weight in the aggregate formula, at 50%, which is why a strong MDCAT score matters more than any single other component.
Can I calculate my aggregate before getting my MDCAT result?
Yes, you can estimate your aggregate using your known Matric and FSc marks along with a target or expected MDCAT score, then update the calculation once your actual MDCAT result is announced.
Do A-Level students use the same aggregate formula?
Yes, once your A-Level marks are converted to an equivalent percentage through an IBCC equivalence certificate, the same PMDC formula and weighting apply.
Why is my calculated aggregate different from the official merit list?
Small differences can occur if a university applies a slightly different weighting, uses a different equivalence conversion for international qualifications, or if there are late corrections to your submitted marks — always cross-check with the official merit list.
How much does raising my MDCAT score by a few marks affect my aggregate?
Because MDCAT carries 50% weight, even a small increase in your MDCAT score moves your aggregate more than an equivalent increase in Matric or FSc marks, which is why focused MDCAT preparation offers the best return.
